Match in Malta — Natalie G. Owens

One night. Two perfect strangers. A little happenstance.

Fifteen years ago, one fateful day bound the lives of two perfect strangers...

Melita Saari-Quinn is living the consequences of a traumatizing psychic event that turned her adolescence upside down. Now, disillusioned with her job as a psychotherapist and desiring a change from her lackluster existence, she hopes that something out of her ordinary sphere of existence -- something totally uninhibited and spontaneous -- will renew her zest for life.

Alex Moncado seems to have it all -- good looks, a successful business, and a fun life in the "party central" of the Mediterranean: the island of Malta. Except for one day in the year when he can't help but remember a tragedy that never should have been. One day he'd rather forget, because if he doesn't, the guilt will consume him.

Can one passionate night together banish the ghosts of the past and give two lost souls a second chance?
